Touring Superleggera has teased its latest
creation, dubbed the Berlinetta Aero. Few details are available about the
vehicle, other than what we can see in this teaser image. We can see that the
car will be a two-door and features pronounced front and rear wheel arches as
well as a sweeping roofline and a short rear decklid.
The overall shape of the car appears quite
similar to the Touring Superleggera Disco Volante which is of course based on
the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione. A look over at Touring Superleggera’s website
states that the Berlinetta Aero will follow “in the tracks of the magnificent
Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 B Speciale Tipo Le Mans.” This one-off made a memorable
appearance at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2010 and Touring Superleggera
says the Berlinetta Aero was scheduled to make an appearance at July’s Goodwood
Festival of Speed. Unfortunately, the event has been postponed meaning the
coachbuilder will probably unveil the car online.
The gorgeous Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 B Speciale
Tipo Le Mans features a 2.9-liter straight-eight cylinder engine with two
carburetors and two superchargers to produce 217 hp. Obviously, the new Touring
Superleggera model will offer up much more power than that and likely be
produced in very limited numbers.
